Two friends, two Cobras. Who is fastest?

Come and see Barnluren at Underbara barn, Stockholmsmรคssan, 16 to 18 October. The children duel with real Cobras and get tattoos while you try Barnluren and talk to us. Every day we give away two Barnlurens, one for the child and one for a friend.

Start a phone club!

Classmates call each other themselves, free and without a mobile. Nobody feels left out, and you no longer have to arrange every playdate.

What you are buying

A Barnluren is three things

The box holds the brain. Add a phone and a plan, and your child has a telephone of their own. Here is the whole picture, so nothing surprises you at checkout.

The Barnluren adapter

In the box

The Barnluren adapter: a white box with a wall plug

The brain. It connects any ordinary phone to the Barnluren network over your home WiFi โ€” no phone line, no SIM card. Plug it into power, join your WiFi in the app, and the phone is online.

  • Arrives pre-configured for your family
  • Power supply, phone cord and quick-start guide included
  • Set-up takes about five minutes

An ordinary phone

You choose

A classic push-button telephone with a curly cord

Almost any corded phone works: the one in the attic, a flea-market find, or one from us. The adapter takes a standard phone plug (RJ11); older phones get there with an inexpensive adapter plug.

Don't have one? Add one at checkout. We sell a classic push-button phone in several colours, ready to plug in.

Adapter + phone + plan = a telephone your child uses on their own.

Built for Families

Parent-controlled allow-list

Your child can only call people you've approved. No strangers, no surprises. You add and remove contacts from your dashboard at any time.

Free calls, always

Grandparents, aunts, uncles, and friends download our free app, and calls between Barnluren phones are always free. Barnluren Friends & Family is the service plan that lets the whole family call the phone.

Completely private network

Barnluren is a closed network with no connection to regular phone lines or the internet. Just family and friends, nothing else.

Screen-free communication

No screen, no apps, no internet. Just a phone that rings. Children develop social skills through real conversation, not through a screen.

Free calling, forever

Every Barnluren phone comes with Barnluren Friends, our free plan โ€” no subscription needed to start calling.

Why phone calls?

Phone calls teach children things that screens cannot:

The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends limiting screen time for children under 6, while encouraging rich verbal interaction. Voice calls provide exactly that - meaningful conversation without a screen.

This is not nostalgia. It's development.

What families are saying

“

Barnluren has given my daughter the independence to call her family when she wants to. Seeing her so confident on the phone has been amazing!

Parent, Stockholm

“

It's the easiest app on my phone. I just press one button and I hear my grandchild's voice.

Grandparent, New Zealand

“

We wanted our child to be able to call friends without giving him a smartphone. Barnluren solved exactly that.
